Okay, this officially sucks. It was what, about a year ago
that I finally got around to trying Kodachrome and discovered
what the fuss was about? I like Kodachrome 25. I tried
Kodachrome 200 and was seriously disappointed. (The Fuji E6
400 ASA emulsions I've tried all looked a _lot_ better (to me)
than Kodachrome 200.) I have not yet tried Kodachrome 64
(I have some in the 'fridge).
I'd just recently resolved to start shooting more slide film,
and hand planned on a bunch of that being Kodachrome 25. *sigh*
I've got terrible timing.
At first, my quest was for faster and faster film, because I shoot
so often in low light. (I still do that, and I still use fast film.)
Now, a few years later, when I've started learning the joys of the
more interesting slow emulsions when I'm actually shooting in daylight,
they're being pulled out from under me. Ultra 50. APX 25. Now
Kodachrome 25.
Argh!
If I decide I like Kodachrome 64, is that going to vanish next year?
